Shameless self-promotion: McSweeney’s

Event: Nov 08, 2011

Nothing but dudes in this issue. In the writing world, it pays to be a man. I guess.

Okay, okay, I feel some shame. But I’m posting this anyway.

Pick up a copy of the next issue of McSweeney’s venerable literary quarterly to read a little baby story written by yours truly, along with lots of better writing from people like Saïd Sayrafiezadeh and Rick Bass, and a compendium of writing that inspired the Egyptian Revolution.

Weirdly, I think all the authors in this issue are male, which must have been why I qualified. Because I have a man name.

“Now that the Times-Picayune and the weekly newspapers have cut all but the most perfunctory book coverage, Press Street’s blog, Room 220, is the only place to find serious (and also irreverent) discussion of literature in New Orleans.” — New York Review of Books
